The company
A house of the Haouz plain
Family-founded in Marrakech in 1989, Marrakech Top Agro Export has spent three decades turning Moroccan harvests into export-grade food.
Story
Built on one conviction
The conviction is simple: Morocco grows some of the world's finest table olives, and they deserve a plant equal to them. From the Sidi Ghanem industrial zone, the house cures, prepares and packs the harvest of the country's olive basins — and has published a standard of thirty-five years of ambition in the service of its clients.
The company remains a Moroccan société anonyme with family leadership. What began as an olive house now spans apricots, capers and the Moroccan condiment table — with export as its sole orientation: 99.2% of turnover, by its own published figures.

Terroir & sector
Morocco, an olive nation
The Picholine marocaine — a dual-purpose olive for both table and oil — makes up around 90% of Morocco's orchards. The harvest runs from September to January: green olives first, black olives once the fruit has darkened on the tree.
With annual table-olive production around 120–130 thousand tonnes and exports around 80 thousand tonnes, Morocco stands among the world's leading table-olive exporting countries.
Sector figures: International Olive Council (2023); variety share: OCL journal.
